Chapter 24, 2nd Floor of the Hotel - Fighting and Strange Magic

But as soon as Kiel calmed down a traveler and closed the door and walked to the walkway on the second floor of the hotel, a bow and arrow fired from close range came straight towards Kiel's helmet.

The sharp arrows are like lightning, and the light reflected by the arrows is accompanied by the vibrating sound of the bowstring.

If it was a normal Kil, this arrow would have hit him passively before he could react at all. But not tonight, right now.

Because Kil has been inspired by the magical effects of red-eyed mushrooms to have a unique reaction ability.

Archer Ronde was fully charged for this ambush arrow, and his thoughts were wandering to barely conceal his murderous intention. Although he was panting nervously, his breathing was not noticeable in the chaos around him.

But the arrow prepared in advance still failed to hit the enemy through the eye socket on the front of the helmet.

At that moment, the armored soldier raised his arm with astonishing dexterity and reflexes, raising the metal shield held on his left arm at an extremely fast speed, and successfully deflected the metal shield at the angle between the front of the shield and the arrow. He missed the ambush shot aimed at taking his life.

when!

The sharp arrow hit the shield and was knocked away. Kil's eyes were red, and he looked nervously at the guest room at the back of the room.

Just when he was about to lift his steps, a person rolled out of another guest room. This person was dressed in black clothes and black trousers. Under a black leather cloak, his hands were swinging rapidly, and multiple short throwing daggers were held between his fingertips like rain. Splashing towards Kiel.

Kil slightly raised his shield to cover the front of his helmet, then lowered his body and moved to the right.

There was a clanking and crackling sound on his body, and the throwing dagger hit him and pulled out a few sparks on his body, which then rebounded and stuck on the wall of the walkway next to him.

The country paintings and Pine Needle Town landscape paintings painted by unknown people hanging on the corridor walls on the second floor of the hotel were completely destroyed by the continuous rebounding daggers.

But the middle-aged man in black across from him, even though he couldn't see anything with his eyes, continued to grasp Kil's position by relying on the sound of Kil's movement and the sound of the dagger hitting his body.

He first threw the dagger with his left hand, throwing the dagger between the index finger and the middle finger first, then the dagger between the little finger and the ring finger, and then the last dagger between the middle finger and the ring finger.

But then, the dagger in his right hand followed.

At the same time, his left hand quickly picked out three throwing daggers from the weapon pouch on his waist. After the daggers in his right hand were thrown, he took them with his left hand.

For a moment, the distance between him and the armored soldier on the opposite side was only a few meters away, and the dark non-reflective throwing daggers were like hidden gray lines, 'connecting' the middle-aged man in black who was holding his breath and using all his abilities. , and armored soldiers who didn’t know where they came from.

But such attacks cannot continue forever.

Even though there were throwing daggers in the leather pouch hanging on his belt and more in the small backpack behind him, his physical strength did not allow this suppressive attack to continue.

When he finally breathed out, he sat on the ground, his hands and fingers trembling slightly, and he could no longer pick up anything in a short time.

However, two strong thugs ran out of the guest room where he came out to attack. The two men's eyes were filled with tears that were blinded by the white light. They were howling and holding a sword in one hand and a dagger in the other. They were attacking one after another. Kiel rushed over.

At the same time, the archer Ronde raised his hand and fired an arrow. He shot the armored soldier directly from the gap between the two thugs running.

-

Kil was confused by the continuous throwing of daggers. It was obviously of no use at all. Why didn't this man stop?

Continuous knocking sounds resounded all over his body, jingling together into one.

Although the power was not good, Kil admired this man's hand speed, he could bring out the afterimage very quickly.

After at least half a minute passed, the man's attack finally stopped with a heavy exhalation. Kil lowered his shield a little, preparing to step forward and kill the man.

But two thugs who followed immediately interrupted his action.

Although the two people could not see it, they accurately knew Kiel's position based on the tinkling sound of the dagger hitting him before. Therefore, the dagger in his left hand was lowered on his waist, ready to stab, and the dagger in his right hand was raised high. Always be prepared to give Geer a blow to the head when he gets close.

Even if it doesn't work, they still have to do this. After all, the other thugs and their fellow thugs were killed by this man without any resistance. They would rather rely on their heroic fighting at this time to earn a small amount for themselves after death. The honor comes out.

In this way, after the Ska Chamber of Commerce defeated these people, the two of them also died in the battle. Maybe the money returned to their families would be slightly more?

Kil was about to block the opponent's attack with his shield, and then killed the two men with his sword, when the nasty sharp arrow came again.

This time, Kil's eyes accurately caught the trajectory of the arrow, and the target was his thigh.

when!

There was a loud impact, sparks exploded from his thighs, and Kil had to take half a step back. On his thigh, his thigh armor had been hit by the arrow and had a short groove half a finger deep.

The arrow shaft broke and flew out, but the arrow part was firmly stuck on his thigh armor.

"Damn it!"

Kil's counterattack was interrupted by this arrow, and he had to raise his cards to block the daggers from the two thugs.

Dang Dang!

After two consecutive collisions, Kil accurately caught the attacks of the two men head-on with his shield, but the subsequent dagger stab firmly pierced Kil's abdomen.

"You want my waist?¥ # ¥%¥No way."

His abdomen received a useless impact from the dagger. Kil cursed, turned the long sword in his right hand and pulled it, directly along the front of his abdomen, and dropped the two daggers together with multiple fingers on the ground.

Then he raised his foot and kicked a thug in the lower body. With the sound of flesh and blood exploding, the thinly-clad thug's whole face gathered together, hunched over and huddled on the ground, rolling his eyes blankly and wailing.

Hearing the sound of the bowstring being pulled and the bow arm being pulled, Kil suddenly moved half a step and hid himself in front of another thug, using the enemy's body to block the direction of the insidious archer's shot.

Then Kir's shield was pressed against the man's chest, forcing the enemy to retreat towards the guest room where the archer was.

The middle-aged man in black heard the chaotic footsteps coming towards them, and immediately shouted: "Kill him? Kill him?"

But even though his voice was urgent, no one had the time to respond to him.

The man spat, facing the blinding whiteness in front of his eyes, he rolled again, and rolled back to the guest room where he had just come out.

Knowing that he was doomed, the middle-aged man in black could only compare the danger of a disaster at close range with jumping from the guest room window.

How could this armored soldier have such a magical weapon! So shameless! And although the opponent's armor is not as abnormal as the knights', it is still not something that warriors like them without heavy weapons can do anything about.

And escaping through an open window can be dangerous.

This room was previously used by the archer Ronde as one of the shooting points to prevent the enemy from advancing. There were countless crossbows aimed at this room outside. There's no chance that if you flip out from here, you'll be shot into a hedgehog and die before it lands on the ground. Moreover, he was blinded by someone using a magic weapon at this time, and he could not use 20% of his physical skills. It was hard to say whether he could survive if he walked out of the window.

But as the sound of fighting and blood splashing came from the room opposite, he was shocked. He didn't think about it anymore. He just relied on his impression and quickly turned to the window. He was disrespectful and prayed to all the gods he knew for blessings, and then Jump out and land on your feet.

"good luck!"

As soon as the word came out of his mouth, an unpleasant feeling came over him. He waved his black cloak to cover himself, and crouched down and ran towards the backyard of the hotel based on his feeling.

On the sentry tower at the village gate not far away, five militiamen fired a round of crossbow arrows at the thing that had just fallen outside the hostel. As a result, the thing was very alert and ran away as soon as it landed. It was also covered in black. It was hard to see clearly against the darkness.

The crossbows were fired. They looked at each other, shrugged and continued to use intermittent shooting to suppress the enemies hiding on both sides of the street in the center of the village.

The voice of Knight Crow, still calm and clear even though he was far away, came from below: "On the sentry tower, pay attention to the outside of the village behind you. There are probably enemies in that direction."

No need to respond, the five of them immediately gave up suppressing the direction of the village center and handed it over to other companions. Then he turned to his side and paid attention to the direction outside the village.

Sure enough, in the gloomy night, with the faint moonlight, the five of them saw someone moving in the fields outside the village.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh.

Everyone fired a round of arrows there, and immediately the guys hiding quietly in the field were frightened and hid.

Several other people who had been arranged by Knight Crow in the fields outside the village immediately launched an attack. These people were closer and could see more clearly. Of course, the sudden attack would have a better effect.

"%...%¥What's going on! Someone is ambushing us here!"

Some thugs cursed and tried to retreat back the way they came, but were immediately killed by the leader with a dagger.

"We can't retreat! The other side doesn't have many people. There are so many of us, and there will be more and more people. We can't be afraid of them! This is our village, a place managed freely by the Ska Chamber of Commerce!"

The guy in the lead was a good talker, and he directly excited the emotions of the men in the village who followed him in the sneak attack.

Now no one said anything about retreating.

-

On Kiel's side, when he pushed the thugs with his shield and rushed towards the guest room where the archer was hiding, he noticed that the middle-aged man in black who had previously blocked him with a dagger turned around and rolled into the previous guest room.

Kil didn't care. After all, it looked like he was blinded, and the attack couldn't do anything to him, so he would kill that person later.

While pushing the enemy, Kil stabbed the man's abdomen continuously with his long sword, stabbing the shirtless thug's abdomen like a tattered rag. Blood and intestinal juice mixed with the messy things in the intestines flowed out. flow from the wound.

As soon as he entered the guest room, Kil directly pushed the injured thug towards the two enemies in the corner of the room.

The archer grabbed a bow and arrow with his backhand, pierced the thug, and then swung it away. Without looking at the fallen thug, he howled and threw the bow and arrow along Keir.

He quickly raised his shield, and then with a crackling sound, the bows and arrows fell to the ground.

But then, the archer opened his clear eyes and rushed towards Kiel holding a war bow in both hands.

Kil was stunned, wondering how this man got rid of the blinding effect of the divine white light. This thing was a powerful effect that even the ridiculously powerful enemy like the Wolf King of the North could not be exempted from.

After waving his sword to force the enemy away, Kil paid attention to another enemy huddled in the corner of the room.

Judging from the bow and arrow quiver on his back, it seemed that the man should be the archer's assistant. This man was clearly blinded, but why was the archer fine?

And it shouldn't be just now, but it should be seen from the time when I sneak attacked him before.

After all, how did the guy who threw the dagger confirm Kiel's location? Kiel could figure it out. It should be to use continuous throwing to repeatedly confirm Kiel's position.

But how could this archer shoot and ambush him without being seen?

Relying on sound to identify Kiel's location?

If it was a quiet place, Keir would have no problem, but the problem was that there were people screaming and wailing and groaning everywhere around him at the moment. The people screaming and shouting on the street outside didn't stop for a moment, but here in the house. The hotel staff on the first floor and the tourists on the second floor are also quite large.

There are still some dead thugs on the ground in the corridor. How is it possible to accurately confirm one's location?

There's something wrong with this guy.

Kil was careful and no longer wanted to kill the enemy quickly.

Moreover, this archer's skills were really good. While he kept whispering something in his mouth, Kil's consecutive swords failed to chop down this dexterous guy.

It obviously proved that this man was indeed not blinded.

But so what.

The room is so small that an archer fighting an armored warrior has no chance of winning.

-

But things often don't change according to what people think.

Kiel's cautious response didn't work, and instead he got into an unpleasant situation. Two people were fighting in a small room, while a severely injured thug was lying on the ground, and another archer's men were huddled in the corner of the room.

There were four humans crowded into the small room, two of whom were still fighting.

Originally, the battle was supposed to be a one-sided outcome on Kiel's side, but as the archer finished muttering something in his mouth, a sound of birds flapping their wings echoed through the room.

Kil was stunned for a moment. He looked around and saw that there were no birds around.

In doubt, he carefully placed the shield on his chest, and the white light of divine power surged around the sword again.

The archer on the opposite side glanced at Kil's weapon fearfully, but the corners of his mouth turned up.

Because the opponent was cautious, it gave him time to ask for magic.

Even if the god he believes in is not very formal.

"Shot from the air."

This is not a powerful combat magic, but it is already the most effective method he can activate in a short period of time.

"What?"

Keir wondered what words the other party said.

But just as the archer on the other side finished speaking, the sound of the birds in the room flapping their wings suddenly became louder.

Keir suddenly felt a pain in his shoulders, and his whole body seemed to be pulled up from the ground by something.

"What the hell! What's going on!"

Kil yelled, waving his shield and sword around his body, and attacked continuously on his head, but there was nothing except the flapping of wings coming from above his head.

And his metal boots actually left the ground as he gradually rose.

As soon as the soles of his feet left the ground, Kil felt something bad. He kicked with both feet, but it had no effect. He swung his weapons, but couldn't hit anything.

At this moment, he seemed to have escaped the gravity of the earth and arrived in a gravityless place in outer space, with nothing around him.

Of course, in his panic, Kil also understood that it was not that he suddenly lost the restraints of gravity, but that something invisible was pulling on his shoulders and lifting him up into the air.

"Damn, damn, damn!"

Just when Kiel was in chaos, the archer Ronde grabbed an arrow from the quiver on his waist, then stood on the spot, pulled the bow and shot at Kiel.

Whoosh—bang!

The arrow hit Kil's chest and made a dent in the surface of the steel armor. It wasn't that his bow and arrows were not powerful, it was simply that Kil's armor was too thick.

"So I hate this kind of turtle-like guy."

After complaining loudly, Ronde continued to shoot with his bow.

Whoosh—bang!

This arrow hit Kil's abdomen. In order to ensure flexibility, the armor here did not use a whole piece of steel armor for protection. Instead, it mostly used metal belts and battle skirts, and abdominal armor connected with armor pieces to protect the body.

The metal of the arrow simply hit the belt, piercing the belt and hitting the metal armor, causing pain in Kil's abdomen.

Land looked at Kiel, who was only more than 20 centimeters high from the ground, shook his head and complained: "You are really heavy. An ordinary person would have been lifted five or six meters in the air, even if it is Inside the house, it will also be tightly attached to the roof.”

But when he just finished speaking, Kil cursed, and the long sword in his hand once again released a shining white light.

Even if this time the archer Ronde covered his eyes with his hands in advance and prayed to the gods for blessings, how could a wild god who didn't know where he came from compete with the power of the great Sun God?

Even if the Sun God believed in by the Church of the Sun God is only the Sun God believed by the human race itself, with the launch battle of the World-Destroying Platform last summer, all the gods on the planet have to admit that they were not prominent before. The human sun god is already a powerful god who can establish a divine kingdom in the outer space orbit of the planet and has the ability to release power to destroy the civilization on the planet's surface.

-

Along with the scream of a bird in the room, there was nothing above Kil's head. Kil's shoulders felt loose and his whole body fell to the ground.

It fell heavily.

The wooden floor on the ground was smashed, and Kil also felt pain in both ankles, but he didn't care about it. As soon as his feet landed, he rushed directly towards the enemy and slashed hard from the right side with his long sword.

call--

The sword blade made a sound as it cut through the air.

But then, there was a crash, and the long sword slashed hard on the body of a longbow. The tough bow body made of an unknown material was cut into half, making it impossible to advance or retreat.

Archer Ronde rubbed his eyes flashing with countless white dots and received a heavy blow from the enemy with one arm.

Comparing strength, he was not afraid, but it was a pity that this weapon, which had been made by others, was scrapped tonight after killing more than a hundred people.

The feeling of annoyance disappeared in a flash. Lunde could barely see with his eyes, grabbed the bow arm with both hands and swung it, forcing the enemy back, and then prepared to retreat.

He shouldn't be fighting the opponent in such a small place. If it were an open field, he could kill the opponent without any damage just by flying a kite from a distance.

But when he just retreated from the room to the window, he looked at his assistant hesitantly and said that he was an assistant, but the relationship between the two was better than that of brothers. If he withdrew like this, his assistant's life would definitely not be saved.

"Damn drag."

He gritted his teeth and rushed forward with a strong long bow. At least two people had to go together.
